Musings of an eccentric mindA medley of things that interest me.
… and making a small mess in the process!
Thanks to this great tutorial, a few clothespins, a pair of scissors and lots of glue, a few brown paper bags lying around the house got a makeover – a mid-week holiday well spent!
And yes I used my finger to spread the glue and am enjoying peeling off the residue!

This week, the guest at the Daily Post asks us to tell time. The challenge had me all excited and geared up!
I have a fascination for gears and enjoy watching them at work. The way the individual pieces interlock; their movement harmonious and in-sync; and that rugged metallic look! These simple machines have stood the test of time (pun unintended!) and can work reliably even after years of use, unlike modern digital goods. And so, for this week’s Photo Challenge, I decided to photograph the inner mechanisms of a mechanical clock. Until next time…
Several years ago, my uncle gifted me a bead loom kit. Seeing the actual tools used to make bead jewellery got me excited. I couldn’t wait for my holidays to start using it. My mother and I read through the manual and she assembled the loom. I drew out an elaborate design on the drafting paper provided with the kit and had begun imagining a bracelet on my wrist!
It was only once I had drawn the grid for the design of my bracelet and begun weaving each individual bead into the loom that I realised the effort that is involved in beading.
I have always found it difficult to haggle with street vendors selling these kinds of bracelets. Having tried it out myself, I don’t even think of negotiating.
This one with my initial is one of the handful of bracelets I weaved on the loom.

This week’s weighty photo challenge had me jumping with delight. A perfect excuse to share this picture I took at Anandagram last month.
Anandagram offers a beautiful and serene environment to visitors. It houses 3 private museums housing traditional Indian household objects, terracotta and textiles from across the country. The buildings, styled like traditional houses, are surrounded by vast manicured lawns with discarded objects turned into art installations! Kept spotlessly clean, this leaf was about the only item which ‘littered’ the place – and it too was pretty 🙂
Taking this week’s Photo Challenge rather literally, my interpretation of ‘Now’:

Those who know me, whether in person or via WordPress, know that I love collecting things in general – be it coins, rocks, feathers, chocolate boxes… And more often than not, the packaging of a product makes my heart jump for joy!
Here’s yet another addition to my ever-growing box of knick knacks!

I’m not much of a fan of wearing make-up. But they sure can make a statement by themselves!
